The Host:

For the ninth year running household favourite Stephen Fry has been tasked with hosting the evening.

"The awful truth is out - in 2014 l'll be hosting the @BAFTA Film Awards for the 9th year," tweeted Stephen in November. "I am really thrilled and honoured to have been asked to host the EE British Academy Film Awards again.

"Despite the nerves and terror that something might go wrong and that I'll make a fool of myself, it's an annual event I really look forward to," he added.

The performers:

Multi-platinum-selling artist Tinie Tempah and Mercury Prize nominee Laura Mvula will be delighting the audience with a performance of their track Heroes.

"I'm extremely excited to be opening the 2014 EE British Academy Film Awards performing Heroes with the incredible Laura Mvula," said Tinie Tempah. "It's a huge honour to be performing there.

"This song was inspired by film scores and theme songs so I'm looking forward to showcasing what British music has to offer in front of the world's film industry elite."

Dame Helen Mirren has already been announced as the winner of BAFTA's prestigious Academy Fellowship.

Prince William, who is president of BAFTA, will present Dame Helen with her award as she joins stars such as Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Richard Curtis and Michael Palin, who have previously been awarded the accolade.
